🎟 £8 or according to pocket
Event Description
Juliet Jacques will speak about her writing practice across fiction, memoir, criticism, and cultural journalism, reflecting on form, voice, and the relationship between lived experience and experimentation.
The talk will explore how writing develops across genres, how ideas move between criticism and creative work, and how political and aesthetic commitments shape literary practice. The event will conclude with a Q&A.
This opening event sets the tone for the wider February programme, foregrounding questions of identity, form, and artistic self-fashioning that resonate strongly with the work of Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore.
